Charging protocol with regards to the use of A/C or D/C units, the use of a wall boxes over a Granny unit and the use of extension leads etc, have and will, always become the subject of a lot of debate on the forum.
As will charging to different levels of SOC and the long term effects of HV battery SOH.
The same applies in all cases and in all maters really.
It purely down the the individual, what is right for some usage cases, clearly don’t work in other cases.
A major factor maybe linked to how long you intend to retain the car and how you funded it in the first place.
A person who is leasing ( renting ) the car, will have little regard for the long term life of the HV battery of course.
Similar with a PCP deal, because as we know almost nobody pays off the ballon payment and keeps the car at the end of the term.
Had then intended to do so, they may have funded it differently ?.
Therefore it could be suggested that lease car receive little sympathy in their early years of life.
The same applies to both fossil and EV’s.
Plenty of these relatively young X lease cars usually end up passing through the big action sites in mass.
Some clean examples are retained by the main dealer, but they are very selective.
Speaking purely on a personal basis, I would never touch / purchase one of these vehicles.
They get driven within an inch of their life’s in many cases and this will come back to bite you after the warranty has expired !.
A lot of my friends and relatives have cars on either lease or PCP’s and I see the way they are driven and abused, no thanks !.
